Honoring our Veterans

The Colonel Timothy Pickering Chapter, NSDAR, enjoyed a wonderful meeting in honor of our Vietnam veterans. Brigadier General John N. Dailey, retired U.S. Army, gave a fascinating speech about his 31 years of service in the U.S. Army. Our speaker served two tours of Vietnam and flew over 3,000 combat hours. He is truly an amazing man who has contributed so much to our country and it was an honor to have him as a speaker.

U.S. Army Brigadier General John N. Dailey and several other veterans were honored for their valiant services to our country during the meeting. The Colonel Timothy Pickering Chapter, NSDAR, also collected a large number of donations for the local VA Medical Center and thanks everyone who made a donation; and we continue to support and honor veterans throughout the year.
